Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace
If you’re awake around midnight (Sat 18th)…
Some of the first “non-NASA” astronauts land. SpaceX.
Commercial spaceflight… they’ve been in orbit for the last few days.
I think that’s a big deal – unfortunately, it hasn’t had much news coverage.
[Mars is on the red list though, so you need a double vax]
More info here (wiki).

"Billionaire on three-day jolly" isn't that interesting, no matter where it goes. Even so, they've been getting an article a day at least out of it.

Haven't you heard?
Billionaires are all inherently evil and everything they do is to be met with cynicism and disdain.
It was acceptable to show interest in similar endeavours back before we all got so woke, but apparently it's just not the done thing these days.
